title: Effect of a new pyrimidine analog on Bacillus subtilis growth.
abstract: 2-Amino-5-ethoxycarbonylpyrimidine-4(3H)-one, a pyrimidine analog, inhibited growth of Bacillus subtilis. Data were obtained which suggested that the analog interfered with the methylation process. A mutant resistant to the inhibitor was isolated, and the mutation was mapped.
